 the benchmark then compares the off-the-shelve distributions. 

Excuse me, as a casual reader of the list, I don't get this "critique". 

I never recompile my installations, I just use them from the
installation CD (as probably 90% of the rest of the world), so I don't
get what is wrong with the approach of comparing an out-of-the-box
FreeBSD 11 with an out-of-the-box Ubuntu whatever. 

If FreeBSD 11 "out-the-box" performs slow because the standard compilers
options aren't good it's not a problem with the benchmarking platform
but with the default CD compiling options. 

Am I getting it wrong? 

Thanks :)

The problem here is that Phoronix took a Beta version of FreeBSD 11.
Beta versions have a lot of debugging (malloc, invariants, witness)
options enabled which make it significantly slower than release
versions. This is even obviously when you run a Beta as a desktop. It
just feels much slower.
